If you can change one thing

If you're given a chance to change one thing from your past what would that be? Me, I would like to change the time when I met this person and trusted him. How I wish I did not met him. He done so much trouble in my life that even until now I still worry that he might come back and done something bad again to me and he is even using my friends to threaten me..

I agree with you. I wish that I would have thought more deeply about things before entering into a relationship. When we are young that is what we want the most, only to find out later that we perhaps aren't as happy as we could have been if we would have waited. If we waited for a person who fit our life and goals better. Or if we just remained single for a time to get to know ourselves better and what we want out of life. I hope that the person you are talking of will stay out of your life and leave you alone.

yeah, i really do hope so he just be gone forever. But the problem is how could I forget this bad person if my friends even go out with him, he just like taking advantage of other people specially the girls. I worry what might happen to my two friends, they are so crazy over him that they follow what ever he wants in return of a small thing. I just really hate that guy!!! i want him vanish!!!!!!!!

I'm sorry to hear that your friends hang out with him. It would seem like they would know how he acts and uses people from your experience. Hopefully they will soon make the right decisions regarding him.

Sorry to hear that friend. I hope he will stay away from you forever. We do have regrets in our life and we always think so many "what if's". I also do have a lot of regrets in my life. If given a chance to start my life all over again, I will definitely grab that opportunity. I hope I can change everything now.

On the day that my father ended up having the heart attack that ultimately took his life, I would have said that he really needed to go to the hospital earlier in the day when it was clear to me that he was not feeling well. As it was, he did eventually tell my mother that he needed to go to the hospital, but it was too late. He ended up going into cardiac arrest in the van on the way to the hospital and was brought back with the shock paddles and remained in a coma for almost a month before he passed away.

Your story sounded very sad :(. I hope you are doing well now. This type of question is really hard to answer, Even Ma. Venus Raj find it hard. For me, if there is one thing in the past that I could chage, I'll go bacjk to those days when I was 21 years old when I am to young to be adult and to old to be a teen-ager, In short, the experience of having the best of both worlds.

Wow, your story sounds very ominous, and slightly dangerous. I hope everything works out okay for you. The one thing from my past that i would change is my dropping out of college the first time. My parents were paying for my tuition and all my bills, i only needed to work part time for gas money. I skipped more classes than i can remember and failed all but one of my classes. My parents gave me a pretty big lecture about dedication and my future. Then i did the same exact thing next semester. and they said they weren't wasting their money any longer and cut me off, which i don't blame them for in the least. But i have had a hard time staying in school now, due to financial reasons. Not quite as life threatening as yours, but that's what i would change.

I would like to change the time when I got too caught up and eventually made myself stupid. I won't go into details, I hate remembering my past. ULK! If I could change one thing, hopefully I can change my vision, 20/20 please :( I regret not taking care of my eyes before. Wearing glasses is such a hassle! I just wish I won't go into productive myopia and go blind :(

We meet people and do stupid things for a reason, so that hopefully we will learn from it. The one thing I would change is that I did not get with my ex, it would have saved a lot of abuse, but then again I might not have my son. Who I wouldn't send back for anything.

I also want to change one thing in my life. Same like you, I want to skip that chapter when I had to met someone who cheated me. Thu,I don't have any regrets having kids from that person, it hurts that after giving my all, he still cheated me. Anyway, i am happy with my life now, without him.

Only one thing that I regret in past, I obey my parents instruction to study only. If I trying to find a job, they always threaten me. In first their advice look pretty useful but when I finish my study I found one fact, if you want a job you need experience not just knowledge. Facing these fact, I had trouble to get a job that suits my desire and knowledge. If I disobey them in past, maybe I'm already have very good job right now (top managerial perhaps) So I if have a chance to change something in past, that would it.

I had bad times, very bad times. Terrible parents, child abuse, terrible husband and ex. It's all fine with me, would not change that if I could get rid of my bad health, the never ending pain. It's not something I can't change since I did not do it to my self it's just the bad dna. So if it was my decision in the past to get born again I will cancel that.

I have often thought about this subject and it's a tough one for sure. I feel like in my past there are many thing's that could be changed but I worry about the outcome of today because I've changed something. I mean I believe everything happens for a reason and so because of this I wouldnt change anything. I would have liked to have had another chance to maybe handle my finances better. That is the only thing I think I would want to change but if it trully comes down to it I don't want anything to be altered or changed.

I believe all the things that had happened in our past were destined to happen. Thus even if I want to change something, I still think I should just have to accept everything.
